David Frey is excited to be serving in his third term as Councilman in Ward 1. David has been a Lyndhurst resident for over 23 years and resides on Hartley Drive with his wife Anne and three daughters Abbey, Shannon and Elizabeth.

David graduated from Gilmour Academy in 1982 and went on to get an engineering degree from the University of Dayton, graduating in 1986. David is starting his 27th year with Rockwell Automation where he works as a project engineer.

David's community involvement includes organizing the Lyndhurst Home Days parade, and volunteering for various organizations and events within our SEL Schools.

"Lyndhurst is a great community, I enjoy being involved with our residents and working collaboratively with my fellow Councilmen to develop solutions that have had a positive impact on our community and the greatest benefit to our residents".

I would like to thank the residents who represent Ward 2 for re-electing me to my council seat for another four year term. It is an honor and privilege to be able to give back to the community that I love.

I have lived in Lyndhurst for over 35 years and actually live on the same street I grew up on with my wife and daugjhter. My family has been part of our community for 60 years starting with my grandparents Joseph and Mary Compola. My grandfather Joe Compola started Tasty Pizza, a local Mayfield Road business in 1958. Tasty's is now a second-generation family business run by my stepfather and mother Joe and Jackie Woytovich. Politics and government have always been in our family! In fact my grandfather previously served on Lyndhurst City Council for 6 years and he was the person that inspired me to get involved in our community.

I am a graduate of John Carroll University (1986) with a BA in Communications.

During my time on Council it has been apparent that Lyndhurst residents desire high quality, timely, delivered city services and low taxation. I believe my business knowledge and experience will be an added attribute to a City Council that works very well with itself to deliver these goals. This is a cohesive group that works well with one another and tries to do what is in the best interest of all our residents.

Working together with my council colleagues I will do my best to make your will public policy in Lyndhurst even if it can ruffle some feathers.

After 30 years with the B'nai B'rith Youth Organization (BBYO Inc.), I retired in June 2013. I am presently serving as the Ohio Executive Director of the Friends of the Israel Defense Forces (FIDF). The organization raises awareness and scholarships to support the combat soldiers that protect the land of Israel.

Message:

Serving the residents of Lyndhurst for the past 8 years has been a pleasure and an honor. As I enter my third term as Ward 3 Councilman, I look forward to continuing to serve the residents with dedication and a commitment to keep our community a great place to live and raise a family. While we as a council will always keep the needs of our residents a priority, we must also look to the future and plan accordingly. This planning comes with making tough decisions, and I appreciate the support I have received over the past 2 terms in making those hard decisions. I will work hard to protect the services we as residents have come to expect and enjoy.

Please don't hesitate to contact me to share your thoughts, concerns and compliments over the next 4 years and together we can make Lyndhurst a great place to live, work, raise children and retire.

It is an honor to be selected to fill the remaining term in Ward 4. I do not take this charge lightly. Along with continuing to fund and support our top rate city services, this city faces many ongoing hurdles, including our SEL schools, budgetary issues, business development, deer overpopulation, and our green space preservation. Together, we on council, along with our resident's voices, can make the proper decisions today that will benefit our future; some of those decisions may not be easy. I will never forget that I work for YOU.

Please call or email me with any issues or concerns, or just to say hello. I would love to hear from you.
